My Project

My students come to school eager to learn, but hunger can be a real barrier to their focus and success. Many of them come to school without breakfast or struggle to stay energized throughout the day. With your support, I hope to provide a consistent supply of healthy snacks so that my students can stay focused, alert, and ready to learn.

Snacks will be available as part of a designated classroom snack bin or "Fuel Station" students can access during independent work time, testing periods, or when they express hunger.

This will be especially helpful for students who may not qualify for extra assistance but still come to school hungry. It also supports students during testing days, long instructional blocks, or days when they need an extra boost to stay focused.
